My family has been anxious about recent developments relating to the International Montessori School ("Parents fight to halt school relocation", October 8).

My children like the school very much. My elder daughter joined last September and my younger son started there last month.

In the past 13 months, we have found the teachers there to be incredibly passionate about their jobs and my children are fond of the cosy campus.

This is a school which has poured its heart and soul into education and which has shown children and parents the meaning of the Montessori philosophy.

This philosophy aims to enable each child to develop his or her own individual gifts and talents within a caring, supportive and respectful dual-language learning environment.

It is a great institution and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an international school in Hong Kong. However, we are obviously concerned about the "destructive" plan to evict Montessori from Tin Hau to make way for a youth hostel.
